Immediate Start
Annual Salary
Full-Time
Analytical Chemist (GC) – Environmental Testing

Salary: Dependent on experience, plus bonus and profit-sharing opportunities

Hours: 39 hours per week, Mon–Fri (Tues–Sat or Sun–Thurs also considered, with flexible start/finish times)

Benefits

* 36 days' annual leave including bank holidays

* Holiday purchase scheme - buy up to 5 additional days

* Enhanced family leave (maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental)

* Pension plan, high street discounts and employee recognition programmes

The Opportunity

A leading UKAS-accredited environmental testing laboratory in South Derbyshire is looking for an Analyst to join its busy organics department. You'll take ownership of your own analytical work, running GC-based analysis and delivering accurate, precise data to ISO 17025 and MCERTS standards in a high-throughput production environment.

This would be an ideal second role for someone who has gained solid hands-on experience in their first lab position and is ready for a step up.

The Role

* Perform GC analysis independently to productivity and quality specifications

* Carry out routine maintenance and performance checks on instrumentation, reporting faults promptly

* Maintain good laboratory practice and compliance with UKAS (ISO 17025) and MCERTS requirements

* Keep accurate records - batch sheets, equipment logs, training records and quality documentation

* Support quality investigations: PT results, QC charts, issues log and limit reviews

* Assist with training new team members as you develop

The Team

The organics department is split into two teams, extraction and analysis - each led by a Team Leader. You'll join a supportive, well-structured lab with on-the-job training from day one.

About You

* Some commercial lab experience - perhaps 1–2 years into your career and looking for your next move

* Hands-on GC experience (environmental, water, food or industrial QC backgrounds all welcome)

* Understanding of UKAS/ISO 17025 working practices

* Organised, quality-focused and comfortable in a busy environment
